Essential structure of opioid κ receptor agonist nalfurafine for binding to the κ receptor 2: Synthesis of decahydro(iminoethano)phenanthrene derivatives and their pharmacologies
摘要:
To clarify the essential structures of an opioid κ receptor selective agonist, nalfurafine, for binding to the κ receptor, we designed and synthesized some nalfurafine derivatives and the decahydro(iminoethano)phenanthrene derivatives with a cyclohexene moiety as a surrogate for the phenol ring. In addition to the 6-amide side chain and the 17-nitrogen substituted by a cyclopropylmethyl group, the 4,5-epoxy ring, phenolic hydroxy group, and angular hydroxy group played important roles in eliciting the binding properties of nalfurafine but these three moieties were not indispensable for binding to the κ receptor. Moreover, the phenol ring was also not essential for the binding to the κ receptor, and the cyclohexene moiety would play an important role in fixing the conformation of decahydro(iminoethano)phenanthrene derivatives to effectively raise the amide side chain, rendering a conformation that resembled the active one of nalfurafine.
